March brings a rotation of local poets to the Poets' Asylum
stage and there's none better to start it off than the fantastic
Tony Brown. Brown's career as a writer reaches back to the 70s
when he was first published. His most recent book, "Flood", was
released in June of 2009 by Pudding House Publications of Columbus, OH.
His work has appeared in journals and anthologies, he has performed in
poetry venues from coast to coast and, oh yeah, he did that poetry slam
thing for a while too. He also performs as a member of the poetry and
jazz duo Duende, with whom he has released two CDs. Tonight
he presents a solo show and we know he has some great stuff in store.
Come on down to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester).
The sign-up list goes out by 6:00 p.m. and the reading starts by 6:30
p.m. No cover however please put some money in the bucket; it is how
we pay the feature.
